Now that you are an adult, you decide to test one of the truisms passed along by your mother: "Cheaters never win in the end." You randomly assign a group of 20 children to either cheat or to play fair on a scavenger hunt. You then rank the children by how many items they were able to get during the scavenger hunt. What would you use to analyze the data to determine whether cheaters finish differently than noncheaters?
- Mann-Whitney U test
- independent-samples t test
- dependent-samples t test
- Spearman rank-order correlation coefficient
